Chapter 534: The Space Trading Convention
After finalizing the alliance matters with Elder Yao, Xiao Ze began preparing to return to Central Province. The foundation of the Northwestern Continent paled in comparison to Central Province, where the opportunities Xiao Ze sought were primarily concentrated. This made it impossible for him to stay in the Northwestern Continent for an extended period.
In the depths of the Heaven Alliance headquarters in Heaven Alliance City, Xiao Ze constructed a spatial wormhole. Upon returning to Central Province, he planned to build another spatial wormhole to connect the Northwestern Continent with Central Province. Only a Fighting Saint level powerhouse could construct such a spatial wormhole that traverses extremely long distances.
Xiao Ze, observing the spatial wormhole emanating intense spatial energy, said to Green Heart standing beside him, "This spatial wormhole should not be opened to the public. On regular days, it should be maintained by trustworthy Dou Zun warriors. This matter concerns the safety of Heaven Alliance and must not be taken lightly."
"I understand!" Green Heart quickly responded. If it weren't for the Lord Alliance's measures left within the family that allowed him to return in time, the entire Heaven Alliance might have been annihilated. This made Green Heart regard the spatial wormhole with even greater importance, and he even planned to personally maintain it if there were no pressing matters.
Just then, Xiao Ze suddenly received a message from Little Doctor Fairy. "Xiao Ze, the Space Trading Convention you asked me to keep an eye on has news. Is there anything urgent at the Heaven Alliance? If you can't make it back, I can attend the Space Trading Convention on your behalf."
"No need, I will be able to return to Central Province soon." Xiao Ze communicated with Little Doctor Fairy through the Origin Tree. He only needed to wrap up a few things and then he could return to Central Province using the original roots of the Origin Tree.
The Space Trading Convention was a must-visit event for Xiao Ze. He wasn't particularly concerned about the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but what truly benefitted him was the Nine-Colored Primal Stone!
Medusa's Seven-Colored Sky-Eating Python bloodline required the enhancement from this Nine-Colored Primal Stone to truly transform into the legendary Nine-Colored Sky-Eating Python. Such a bloodline power could rival the Great Void Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
The multiple feedbacks triggered by such could also greatly benefit Xiao Ze.
Previously, Xiao Ze had asked Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin to return to the Pill Tower first, partly to keep an eye on the Space Trading Convention. The Space Trading Convention, known only among the top powers and powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent, remains a secret to those without connections, who might not even be aware of its existence.
However, as the Pill Tower was a top force openly in Central Province, it naturally qualified to know about the Space Trading Convention. The convention even proactively sent invitations to the Pill Tower.
Whether the Pill Tower wanted to attend was another matter. After all, the Pill Tower was teeming with alchemists, including many high-level alchemists. Even in top-level conventions, high-level alchemists were very capable customers.
In a sense, high-level medicinal pills were even more in demand among top cultivators. Those capable of cultivating to such strength had formidable cultivation techniques and combat skills and wouldn't switch techniques unless the quality difference was significant. However, a high-level medicinal pill could further enhance one's strength, making them highly valuable at the Space Trading Convention.
Naturally, top alchemists holding the most high-level medicinal pills were warmly welcomed.
After arranging matters in Heaven Alliance, Xiao Ze returned to the Pill Tower first. Meanwhile, Elder Yao and Xiao Yan returned to Meteor Pavilion to prepare for the alliance.
In Saint Pill City, Central Province, inside Xiao Ze's Elder Tower, a brilliant golden light transformed into a golden tree. Xiao Ze's figure emerged from it.
"Master Xiao Ze!"
"Xiao Ze."
Little Doctor Fairy and Qing Lin greeted him. They had learned about the matters of Heaven Alliance through the Origin Tree roots, so they didn't ask further.
"How long until the Space Trading Convention?"
"There are still two months left. We have enough time to travel from the Pill Tower to Space Town," replied Little Doctor Fairy.
Hearing there were two months left, Xiao Ze's eyebrows twitched slightly. There was indeed no rush, and he could even craft another batch of high-level medicinal pills for emergencies. However, now that he was back at the Pill Tower, he decided to meet the other two chairmen first.
With this thought, Xiao Ze approached the black giant tower. The powerhouses guarding it quickly bowed and saluted upon seeing him.
"Greetings, Chairman Xiao Ze!"
"Thank you for your hard work," Xiao Ze said with a smile, nodding at them before stepping inside.
As Xiao Ze's figure disappeared, the guarding powerhouses expressed their admiration. "Lord Xiao Ze is so young yet already a ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster. Truly, appearances can be deceiving."
"Not only that, but Lord Xiao Ze is also a Fighting Saint, excelling in both alchemy and cultivation."
"Although I've never interacted with Lord Xiao Ze before, seeing him today, he seems very approachable, without any airs…"
The group spoke with a degree of reverence, admiring this legendary figure who had risen powerfully to become the chairman of the Pill Tower. Everyone in the Pill Tower talked about him with great respect, and being favored by Lord Xiao Ze was considered a divine blessing.
Xiao Ze reached the top of the tower where the two chairmen were already present. Seeing Xiao Ze, they were momentarily stunned, then smiled.
"Xiao Ze, congratulations on achieving the title of a Mysterious Pill Grandmaster," said Xuan Kongzi with a laugh, his tone not without envy. Xiao Ze's advancement in alchemy seemed as effortless as eating and drinking, which made Xuan Kongzi, a veteran in alchemy, somewhat envious.
"Have the two chairmen heard already?"
"There's no helping it; you made such a high-profile announcement at the ancient clan, it would be hard for the Pill Tower not to know," Xuan Yixian covered her mouth and chuckled.
Xiao Ze thought for a moment and understood. The adulthood ceremony this time at the ancient clan was quite grand, inviting many forces and powerhouses from non-ancient races to participate. After the ceremony, these forces could stay for a while, waiting for the ancient races to complete the Heavenly Tomb event and then leave the ancient realm together.
It must have been then that the news spread, but Xiao Ze had no intention of hiding it. After all, having announced it so openly, it seemed somewhat presumptuous to think of keeping it a secret.
"Haha, the success of that Mysterious Pill was also a bit of luck. With my current level of alchemy, the success rate of crafting Mysterious Pills is only about fifty percent."
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yixian rolled their eyes. Wasn't a fifty percent success rate for a ninth-grade Mysterious Pill high enough?!
After some friendly banter, Xuan Kongzi handed a scroll to Xiao Ze. "You came back just in time. Lately, the Soul Hall has been more rampant, hunting our alchemists more frequently. It feels like the Soul Hall is going mad. Are they trying to start a war with the Pill Tower?"
Xiao Ze took the scroll, guessing in his mind that the Soul Hall's actions were probably due to their need for more soul origins. The Soul Hall urgently needed to collect more soul origins to help the soul realm of the Void Swallowing Flame break through from the perfect heavenly realm to the emperor soul realm. In the original story, the Soul Hall incited wars across the Northwestern Continent and other regions precisely to harvest a large amount of soul origins through war.
